As well as what other people have said, randomly dropping symlinks into
bits of /usr/ is a bad habit that I strongly recommend you avoid in
future (though I more usually see people attempting this with different
versions of libraries).  I notice that your error message included
mention of aclocal-1.16 as well, which means that the build system has
likely ended up with a mix of different versions of bits of automake,
and that's not going to be healthy.

I'd strongly advise removing /usr/bin/aclocal-1.13 (assuming it was
previously absent) before you do anything else, and then following the
other advice you've had here to rebootstrap the build system properly.
